Chapter 245: Third-Class Staff General
Fortunately, although An Bu can't make a weapon, there are still many officers who have fought hard battles in the Houjin Army that entered the mountain this time.
Even if the fire is raging, it is impossible to burn everyone in this mountain plain area without dense forests, and there are still capable people around him.
Just as An Buyan sat down on the ground in disappointment, an officer waving a black Han army flag and constantly beckoning soldiers to join the team stood up.
"Marshal, this is not a good time to be discouraged, we should find a way to gather the troops."
When An Buyan heard this, he didn't have the slightest intention of cheering up, and he looked around blankly, still said decadently, "Even if you gather people, what can you do." It's not about dying. ”
The officer didn't have the slightest disdain when he saw that An Bu was playing this bear-like look, he had long been accustomed to this guy's temperament, if it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him was the commander of this army and had natural authority, he would have thrown off his arms and worked alone.
However, his identity as a Han military banner is destined to not have too much prestige in the Houjin army, and if he wants to survive, he can only rely on An Buyan's reputation.
So, he insisted on taking care of himself and persuaded himself, "Dashuai, life is not waiting for it, but earning it by yourself, we may not be able to survive if we fight to the death, but waiting for death here is really only a dead end."
Anyway, the left and right are dying, why not give it a go, maybe, there is a glimmer of life? ”
When An Buyan heard that there was still a glimmer of life, the originally dead eyes suddenly flickered, and became full of hope, "You say, what should I do?" ”
Seeing that the persuasion had worked, the Han Army Banner officer was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "The key now is to gather manpower, stop wasting manpower, and let everyone gather in the south together." ”
An Buyang didn't pay attention at all, and the officer in front of him was still calm, so he decided to listen to the other party's opinion for the time being, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." What is your name? Any current position? ”
"The slave Han army flag is high and wide, and he is now a sentry officer."
"Okay, now, I'll promote you as a trial guerrilla, no, try a third-class general, as long as you can open the way, I'll guarantee you to be promoted to three more levels."
Gao Shaokuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you for the master's generous reward, the slave dares not to repay the master's kindness." ”
An Buyan was very satisfied with the other party's performance, regardless of the dirt and blood, and helped Gao Shaokuan up, "I'll leave everything to you." ”
The military situation was urgent, and after making a little appearance, Gao Shaokuan immediately began to issue an order: "All run in the direction of due south, and stop when they reach the outside of the fire area." ”
As the heralds ran and shouted, the veterans of the army, who didn't know where to go because of the fire, naturally stabilized their minds and began to look around.
Although this Gao Shaokuan is a traitor, his vision is really vicious, and the infantry battalions originally came for this encirclement and annihilation mission, and when they arrived, they were relatively well prepared, and they all carried rockets.
The 10 frontal assault infantry battalions were mostly assaulted from the north.
In the southern direction, although there are also six infantry battalions, these six infantry battalions, except for one battalion that entered Tashan to assist the 1601st Battalion and the 1502nd Battalion in arranging defenses, the other units were assigned to the two flanks due south because the area of Tashan was narrow and could not accommodate so many people.
In this way, due south upward, only one infantry battalion carried rockets.
In this night raid, the number of rockets in this direction was significantly less than in other directions, and correspondingly, the fire was much smaller than in other areas.
Sure enough, when the veterans of the Houjin army followed the order and observed that the fire in the south was not big, they obeyed this correct order under the instinct of saving their lives.
Driven by the veterans, the remaining ordinary soldiers also habitually moved closer to the veterans.
Slowly, the originally chaotic and disorderly Houjin army camp began to move towards the south like a torrent.
Gao Shaokuan quickly led the men and horses to the southernmost cordon, formed a supervision team with his old team, and shouted, "Don't mess around, just wait here and gather people." ”
Seeing that everyone was still very flustered, Gao Shaokuan comforted, "Don't be afraid, the fire is burning so vigorously now, the entire fence is burning, and it is impossible for the Chinese people to rush over before the fire is extinguished." ”
Indeed, the rocket raid of the Huaxia Army completed the task in just one round, and now there is no rocket trajectory in the sky.
The occasional explosion was nothing more than the explosion of gunpowder in his camp.
Listening to the movement around him, there was silence, as long as he didn't rush into the light of the bonfire lit by the Huaxia people on the opposite side, the Huaxia people had no intention of attacking at all.
This time, everyone was a little relieved.
Then, Gao Shaokuan continued to send his subordinates to group the remnants.
Every time there were enough remnants of 100 soldiers, Gao Shaokuan would place a few of his cronies as officers to lead the team "temporarily".
As for how long this "temporary" can last, it all depends on the means of Gao Shaoguang and the degree of connivance of An Bugong.
A team of 100 people was formed.
When such a team formed ten teams and gathered enough 1,000 people, Gao Shaokuan finally had some confidence.
In the past, no matter what he did, he explained and comforted him with kind words, it was not the style of the Houjin officer, but because of the lack of strength in his hands, he had to do it.
Now, with enough manpower, the height and width are naturally changing, and the way of working has changed.
The 1,000 Houjin troops formed a human wall, wielding swords and guns, constantly driving the remnants of the soldiers to the south.
In the face of the 1,000 fierce overseers who had been organized, the remnants quickly corrected their positions and obediently obeyed the officer's assignment.
"Count the ordnance that hasn't been burned."
"Count the remaining grain and grass."
"Gather together the living horses."
"Look where the fire is smaller, and try to salvage what can be used inside."
One task after another was assigned, and order was quickly restored to the camp.
An Bu followed Gao Shaokuan's side as a rubber stamp and gave him a platform, so even if a higher-ranking officer appeared now, no one blew up, and they all obeyed the order one by one.
The fire was still burning, and the chaotic and orderly Houjin army was working under the aroma of barbecue, and from time to time some soldiers quickly bent down and vomited as if they remembered something, until the bile was spit out, and after they couldn't spit out anymore, they were urged by the people of the supervision team to continue to collect and rescue the materials in the fire.
The sky slowly brightened, and An Buyang stood aside in thin clothes and watched the situation in front of him, slightly relieved.
However, although An Buyan breathed a sigh of relief, Gao Shaokuan did not relax in the slightest.
He knew that with the dawn, the attack of the Huaxia people would also officially begin, and their time was running out.
